F U I Am More Then A Genius

According to these people counting out the number of letter F’s in the following can show if you’re a genius or not.

Read the following sentence — just once, at normal speed, with no looking back — and say how many times the letter F occurs: “Finished files are the result of years of scientific study combined with the experience of years.”

Most only count 3, they miss the word “of.” According to the official rules there are 6 F’s and if you spotted them all you’re a genius. Some stray odd readers count 5 for which there is no explanation. However all those hyphens and the semicolon mean the whole paragraph is one sentence. I count 8 F’s. Admit it, I’m better then you.
